- Dress, c.1929. Pink chiffon, red chiffon, and red velvet. Straight cut, sleeveless, embroidered flowers on bodice, two velvet flounces on skirt, velvet bow on left side. The bodice, with its boat neck and lack of sleeves, has two layers. The outer layer is pink chiffon and the under layer is red chiffon. The outer layer is covered in a regular yet sparse pattern of flowers in either blue or orange with white. At the left side of the dropped waist there is a large red velvet bow. The two bodice layers are sewn together at this point, and the skirt begins a few inches below with a wavy corded velvet seam. The skirt consists of two tiers of gathered red velvet flounces, hemmed with a zig-zag stitch. The first tier is attached to the pink outer layer and the second tier attaches to the red under layer, just high enough to be visible as velvet from the outside.

- Object History
- As a produce buyer for Kelly Douglas, Cecil Lee worked closely with local farmers along Marine Drive and in the Fraser Valley. The Burnaby company was one of the largest food distributors in Canada. In the mid-1970s, Lee was asked to oversee the import of Chinese mandarin oranges into Canada. Until that time, mandarin oranges had come from Japan and were sold in the winter, especially at Christmas. When the Japanese market could no longer keep up with demand, Kelly Douglas looked to China. The company relied on Lee’s cultural knowledge to build this very profitable part of their business. Lee designed the cardboard Chinese mandarin orange box to replace wooden containers. The iconic design required no glue or staples, making it possible for farmers to assemble and pack the boxes as they picked the oranges.
